What’s New and Exciting?
An exciting new feature is the ability to create custom AI agents directly within the chat. These agents act as your personal assistants, capable of learning repetitive tasks or integrating with your business data. For example, a sales team can have an agent that instantly retrieves all key customer information before a meeting.
Microsoft also introduced “Copilot Pages,” a space where you can collaborate on documents in real time with both colleagues and artificial intelligence. Another intriguing feature is image generation, which can be particularly useful for marketing teams.
Security First
Microsoft hasn’t overlooked security – the new Copilot Control System ensures the protection of corporate data and allows IT administrators to manage who can use AI assistants and how.
Why Does It Matter?
This announcement marks a significant step toward democratizing artificial intelligence in the workplace. Microsoft aims to ensure that every employee has access to an AI assistant, enabling them to work more efficiently, whether through analyzing data, preparing presentations, or automating routine tasks.
